Emoji versions are (currently) on a somewhat faster schedule than Unicode : U10.0 — E5.0, E6.0 (TBD) U09.0 — E3.0 , E4.0 Intermediate versions can't add any new characters, but can add sequences and properties, including "emojification" of existing characters.

I did not find the question or answer at http://unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html – hence asking here. I hope I didn't miss something. -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा
